Depakote - long term use

Tue, 05/05/2015 - 17:53

My daughter just fractured her wrist. Last year she fractured her other wrist. She has been seizure free with Depakote for almost 6 years now. Should I be concerned about bone density problems or is this simply an accident. She doesn't break something every time she falls. I've never thought of a bone density problem until someone mentioned it to me. 

Thanks.
